So if you were running around Suffolk on a CB you'd find me by calling for Turtle.

AOL got popular and my cousin gave me a screen name. "turtle" was taken and AOL offered to add "2472". I didn't care and so I ended up going with "turtle2472". Since then I've pretty much grabbed it on all services out there because "Turtle" is just about always taken. Even here it's not being used though it's taken. Since I have the name everywhere I've pretty much just chosen to keep it no since I also have to TLD for it too.
Thanks to Brad I'm just turtle now. PM was sent and my request was filled. It's actually kinda cool being a name without a number. As 709 pointed out in another thread that most people with number in their name are normally not worth talking with... maybe I'll find the post to link here.

Anyway, so most of you who wonder where I went, I just have a new name.
